May 6, 2010admin No Comments »

I’m on a roll. I’ve created a facebook page and a petition for Wellpoint customers who are against the proposed hikes of premium rates. Let Wellpoint’s CEO know that raising premiums for health care in this financial climate is unacceptable. Please sign the petition at the bottom of the post. There is also a link [...]

First of all, I never thought I would quote George W. Bush and sincerely mean it. But I do mean it when I say to my health care corporation “You’re Either With Us or Against Us.” From my interactions with Anthem, it’s apparent that this health care corporation is not with me or the 34 [...]
